Hm, this is a rough call. Admittedly, I haven't seen two of the films on that list, Memento or Inception. Inception just never really appealed to me from the trailers and I don't really think I ever felt an urge to see Memento either.
For the Nolan films I've seen, I didn't care for The Prestige. I don't remember exactly what it was about that film, but it never resonated with me. I saw it once and just didn't care for it. Interstellar was OK, but it kind of dragged on and got too predictable at the end for my taste. Technically and visually, it was stunning, but the storytelling was kind of long winded for my taste, and some of the space scenes kind of dragged on too. The Dark Knight is freaking fantastic. One of Nolan's best, in my opinion. Nolan's Batman is dark, gritty and realistic. It's what it would look like if Batman was the real human he's supposed to be, not the comic version. His enemies are reality based too, and deadly. Both Heath Ledger and Aaron Eckhart put together memorable performances, even though the late great Ledger gets most of the attention. I really felt Eckhart did a great job as both Harvey Dent and his twisted split self, Two Face. The movie, for me, is tied as Nolan's best work to date.
Now for Tarantino. One of my favorites. As a true student of film and entertainment in general, his style ranges. Starting at the beginning, I absolutely love Reservoir Dogs. It's a different take on the crime drama, with no actual footage shot of the crime itself, just the stuff leading up to it and the aftermath. Harvey Keitel, Tim Roth, Michael Madsen and Steve Buscemi were all flawless in it. Tarantino's script is full of the long (but not boring) conversations that would become one of his trademarks. He tells a story, with almost none of his films having any pure flash moments. Pulp Fiction is, hands down, his best work, in my opinion. John Travolta, Uma Thurman and Samuel L. Jackson are, of course, the standouts. But, with an ensemble cast that includes the likes of Harvey Keitel, Tim Roth, Ving Rhames, Bruce Willis and Tarantino himself, there were no bad performances. (and they're not the only ones who did great) I don't know if everyone just brings their A+ game for the man, or if Tarantino is just a casting genius, but he always gets the perfect people for the roles. The story is dark, gritty, hard hitting, at times funny, at times sick, and just all out awesome. It's hard to even find a comparison for this film, as the whole thing is just flawless. Kill Bill is an interesting two film series. First, we have the almost straight action Vol. 1, which firmly proved that Tarantino can do action. It's ultra violent and just plain awesome. Taken with Vol. 2, which gives us more the long conversational style we're used to from Tarantino, which fills in most of the gaps and gives up back stories on the characters, we get just a great cinema experience. And, the cast is fantastic. Uma Thurman, Lucy Liu, Daryl Hannah, Vivica A. Fox, Michael Madsen and David Carradine as the Deadly Viper Assasination Squad all put up great performances. The rest, of course, were fantastic as well. To me, Kill Bill is Tarantino's third best work after Pulp Fiction and Reservoir Dogs. Inglourious Basterds. Ooh, I need to watch this one again. Tarantino's war epic, which he actually shelved to do Kill Bill. Again, a blend of great storytelling and a dark and gritty film, but at times funny. Christoph Waltz and Brad Pitt lead another great cast. I'm so glad Christoph got an Oscar for this film, he did an incredible job. Not only did he speak four languages in the film, but he did a fantastic job playing a character you really needed to hate, yet couldn't help loving at least on some level, just because his performance was that great. Brad was an Oscar snub that year, unfortunately. He also put up a tremendous performance. The style is very Tarantino, which is mixing things that shouldn't work together but do. Most of the movie is pretty standard war epic, but done in Tarantino style, but the beginning has a very spaghetti western feel to it. Even though I have to read much of the film, I greatly appreciate that Tarantino never does that "this person is still speaking German, but we'll have them speak English so the audience can understand them" thing. He kept them speaking the languages they should be speaking. He also cast people who are correct to the countries they should be from; Americans playing Americans, Brits playing Brits, (except Mike Myers, but he can do a British accent) French people playing French people and Germans playing Germans. This adds a great level of authenticity to the film. It's a great, gritty and long but never draggy war film. Plus, you have to appreciate that, in Tarantino's world, you can kill Hitler. Not too many people questioned it, because it's Tarantino. Now for Django Unchained. To me, not Tarantino's best work. Firstly, stand out performances by Christoph Waltz (another Oscar!) and Jamie Foxx. Leonardo DiCaprio and Samuel L. Jackson put on their usual level of performance, which is great, and everyone else did a great job. I just didn't care for the movie's story. I think it's the only Tarantino film I've seen where I actually got bored. The best part for me is the end. And, that's really all I have to say about that film. It just didn't resonate with me.
OK, so I'm clearly a Tarantino fan. Do I like Tarantino more than Nolan? No, not really. Firstly, as I said, I haven't even seen two of the Nolan films on the list, so Memento vs Reservoir Dogs and Inception vs Inglourious Basterds would obviously swing towards the films I've seen, but that's not fair, so I'll leave those alone. The Prestige vs Kill Bill, well that obviously goes to Kill Bill for me, since I don't like The Prestige. The Dark Knight vs Pulp Fiction is too close to call for me. Personally, I love both of those films. Interstellar vs Django Unchained is also too close to call, but that's because I didn't really care for either film. And, my co-favorite Christopher Nolan film isn't even on the list. That would be Batman Begins. Yep, I like that one just as well as The Dark Knight. I also really like The Dark Knight Rises. So, for me, that actually puts Nolan pretty close to the same number of films that I really like. And, I'm hoping the best films by both men are still to come.
